Competition to serve the people is what results in the best products & services.

Government is the biggest corporation & has a monopoly on violence. How much power do you want it to have?

Unpopular belief:

You haven’t taken a chance on yourself not because you don’t know the right people but because you don’t have the right mindset

Just built in 2-3 hours what would have taken me a full month of weekends

Building + testing ideas just became insanely easy

Used @stackblitz Bolt to scaffold and @cursor_ai to further build out features

Disgusting. The CDC held Secret Meetings about the Rise of Autism From Vaccinations…

“So they looked at one vaccine, which is the hepatitis B vaccine. They looked at kids who had gotten it in the first 30 days…and there was a 10,000% increase…”

7/ AI Censorship Will Be A Whole New Level…

AI will become the “control layer around everything.”

If that is compromised or weaponized things will look very dystopian.

Marc says the Biden administration were on this path.

Crazy.

The New York Times is so committed to the trans insanity that they’ve now resorted to describing good, old-fashioned women as “non-transgender women.”

Good thing we’re the media now.

Citizen journalism as a continuation of the Enlightenment

Central to Elon Musk's strong commitment to citizen journalism is the idea that each individual has the power to think for themselves and contribute to the public conversation.

Collecting and confronting all points of view is the best approach to get to the truth, as opposed to delegating the task to a selected few journalists.

“Let the people choose the narrative and let the people determine the truth” is one of Elon Musk's key mottos for this new form of journalism.

This idea strongly resonates with Immanuel Kant's definition of an enlightened society in the text What is Enlightenment:

“If I have a book that understands for me, a spiritual advisor who has a conscience for me, a doctor who decides upon a regimen for me, and so forth, I need not trouble myself at all. I need not think, if only I can pay; others will readily undertake the irksome business for me.

That by far the greatest part of humankind (including the entire fair sex) should hold the step toward majority to be not only troublesome but also highly dangerous will soon be seen to by those guardians who have kindly taken it upon themselves to supervise them; after they have made their domesticated animals dumb and carefully prevented these placid creatures from daring to take a single step without the walking cart in which they have confined them, they then show them the danger that threatens them if they try to walk alone.

Now this danger is not in fact so great, for by a few falls they would eventually learn to walk; but an example of this kind makes them timid and usually frightens them away from any further attempt. (...)

That a public should enlighten itself is more possible; indeed this is almost inevitable, if only it is left its freedom (...) namely, freedom to make public use of one’s reason in all matters. (...) The public use of one’s reason must always be free, and it alone can bring about enlightenment among human beings.”

Immanuel Kant, An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment, 1784

The concept of wealth is fascinating

But here’s how the inverse of it improved my quality of life

Epictetus said wealth is not the desire for more but being content with wanting less

Try implementing that and see how it can change your life
